I am so happy that I found John Dossey Tree Service on Angie's List. Mr. Dossey was kind, pleasant, honest and trustworthy which makes for a wonderful experience. Mr. Dossey arrived to my property promptly for an estimate. He called me and described exactly what was needed and the work he would provide with a fair, reasonable price. He returned to my property to complete the work quickly and as he promised. He sent me before and after pictures. I was just thrilled with his work..what an amazing difference he made in the overall appearance of the yard. He did everything he said he would and even went above and beyond by trimming a tree in the back yard away from the house. He removed a Mulberry tree and grinded the stump. He cleaned up all the yard debris and left the yard immaculate. I am 110% satisfied with John Dossey Tree Service. I highly recommend him for any one searching for this type of work. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be calling him again. Thank you.

Mr. Dossey provided the best quote of everyone who replied. He was thorough in describing what work would be done, and made suggestions for areas to tend do before they caused potential problems in the future. His crew also went above and beyond by delivering even more than was originally discussed.
Description of Work: We needed trees trimmed on 3 sides of our property. We also needed a large stump and poison ivy removed.

The work was quick & to my satisfaction, however a bit pricey. About a year earlier someone stopped by my property & offered to do the same work for $250 less, however the number on his business card was disconnected when I called, otherwise I would have gone with him instead.

Professional, quick, courteous, affordable. I was very impressed with the work done. They removed a lot of branches from the tree yet still left a nice shade canopy and trimmed the very overgrown hedge down to a manageable 6 foot height. All the branches were cleaned up and hauled away. This was all done for a VERY affordable amount. I am so glad I used John Dossey Tree Service, and I will certainly call them again when I have future tree trimming needs.

This is the second time I have used John Dossey Tree Service. About a year ago John and his crew trimmed several trees for me, and I knew from that positive experience that he is honest, friendly, and does great work. Recently, a very large Hackberry tree near my house split at its fork. It posed a danger of falling on my house, or other property. In addition, one of my large Pecan trees had died and become an eyesore. I called John, and he came out personally to access the work to be done. We agreed on a price, and we set a schedule for him to come back and do the job as soon as it was dry enough to get his equipment onto my property. John came as agreed, and he had a crew of 4 hard workers with him. They finished the job in one busy day. In fact, they stayed an hour or so late to finish the clean-up and haul away 3 large loads of debris. John Dossey knows his stuff, and he is a pleasure to be around. I give him my highest praise and recommendation.
Description of Work: John Dossey Tree Service cut down 2 very large trees, shredded the stumps down to the ground, trimmed the dead limbs off about half a dozen other trees, picked up all the debris, and hauled everything away (3 full loads) on his trailer. I was very pleased with the result, and I highly recommend John Dossey Tree Service to anyone needing a professional tree service.

I have about 2 dozen trees on 2 acres. When the trees shed their leaves during the winter, I noticed that several of them had a lot of mistletoe, and several had dead limbs that needed trimming. I found John Dossey Tree Service on Angie's List, and gave them a call. Mr. Dossey responded immediately, and came out and gave me the information I needed to decide what I wanted to do to address the matter. We set an appointment and he came out personally with a crew and equipment as scheduled and did the trimming and disposal work in about one day. I believe they did a very good job and I will use them again the next time I need tree service. I recommend them.
Description of Work: John Dossey Tree Service took the mistletoe out of about a dozen trees, trimmed off dead limbs as necessary, and hauled the debris to a burn pile on my property (to be burned by me as conditions permit). Mr. Dossey and his crew did all of the works in about a day. They did a great job, and I am pleased to recommend them.

John did a great job with our tree trimming. He & his crew came out when they said they would (on the coldest day of the year!), were very thorough and cleaned up after the work was done. He took his time discussing the options we had for our trees prior to taking the job and executed on what he said he would. We received multiple quotes on the work (all pretty good) but in the end we chose him because of how he listened to our concerns. In fact he said something to the effect of ?I won?t make your Oak trees look like Bonsai trees,? which was exactly our concern without knowing it! We plan on using him again in the near future.

I cannot say enough good things about this man, his workers and his work ethic. There was a huge tree that was dying (very sad). I called 5 other companies and they gave me very high prices, no clean up or removal, long wait times with no definite time of work. The last one I called, John Dossey-your referral-came out gave me a great price, in comparison) and a specific day and time for the work. He is professional, takes care of his workers and the property. He was prompt, cleaned up very well. I would use him again anytime I have a tree problem. So I did cll him about another tree concern. He went and looked at it and said it did not need to have anything done to it at this time! That is my kind of professional-truthful, honest and friendly.
Description of Work: Cut down and removed a VERY large bug infested tree and CLEANED up afterward.

If there was a rating higher than A, I would give it.!! Mr. Dossey stopped by the next morning after my husband called to look at the tree branch we needed removed. He said it wouldn't be a problem, he would do it for free, and refused any payment. His employee Ryan came by later that day, cut the branch down, cut it into smaller pieces, and hauled it away. He even took our bags of yard debris, too. All this for free. I was amazed by their professionalism, promptness, and courtesy. I didn't know customer service like this still existed!! I couldn't be more impressed, and will highly recommend their services to anyone. I will definitely call again when/if we need tree trimming again. THANK YOU!!

I was very pleased with the outcome. All work (and more) was completed as per the bid. The original bid was issued in January 2014 when trees had not yet leafed out, so Mr. Dossey found additional work to be done when he and his crew came back in April (my timetable). Nevertheless, he remained true to the original bid and did not charge more for items that presented themselves once the trees were in full bloom. The interactions with Mr. Dossey were all excellent, from first contact, to bid, to scheduling, to doing the work, and to payment. He presented himself well, was knowledgeable, was certified and insured, was punctual and, most of all, he inspired trust that he would do a good job for a fair price. If you view some of my other reviews, you will see that I have been quite harsh if a contractor promises to do something and then fails to act against that commitment. Hopefully that contrast with this review will further reinforce the fact that Mr. Dossey did a very good job.
Description of Work: Mr. Dossey removed hackberry trees, pruned limbs on mature trees (elm, walnut and pecan) and ground stumps.There hadn't been any general tree trimming done on my 1/2 acre lot for a number of years, so the job was a big one!

John came out the day after I called for an estimate. He returned within one weeks time to complete the jobs. He was punctual and courteous. He and his crew did an excellent job and took all precautions while working. Before they left the property they did a great job of cleaning up after completing the jobs. They used brooms and a blower to make sure no trace of dirt or sawdust was left behind. He gave me suggestions on what to plant for this area and how to take care of the trees that I have. John's prices were very reasonable, in fact, he beat out his competition on three other estimates. I highly recommend John Dossey Tree Service.
Description of Work: John cut down and ground down the stump of a large tree and trimmed six other trees. John was re-hired to remove and grind out the roots on 43 shrubs.

Mr. Dossey was great. He came out immediately when I called. We set up a date, which was only a couple of days after the day he gave me his estimate. He came, did a fantastic job. He cleaned up everything. He was a lot more reasonable than other estimates I had and they would have taken a lot longer to accomplish. I would highly recommend Mr. Dossey's company to anyone. I was totally pleased.

The trees look wonderful. He cleaned the debris from trimming and left the area beautiful. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him very highly. Mr. Dossey was very knowledgeable about the process and explained in detail what he would be doing and why. I think he was well worth the money. Our trees are old growth oaks and are worth a great deal of money. I felt very comfortable entrusting this gentleman with the job.

John came and gave an estimate. He arrived when he said he would and promply did the work in less than one day. He told me that the large tree that he removed was much larger than it looked, but did not increase his fee. He cleaned up the mess and left my yard looking like it did when hearrived (less trees and much pruned limbs from the other 20+ trees.
Description of Work: He trimmed out over 20 trees and removed three. One was very large and mostly hanging over the house. He crew is very professional and know what they are doing. This was not the first time I had used his service.

The crew arrived on time and started right away. They carefully cut away the limbs from the power line. It only took them about a hour and a half to complete the job. They cleaned up the work area nicely. They also removed several tree stumps in the yard for free. Made the yard look very nice. It was a very pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to call them again.

John arrived on time and did a fantastic job at what I considered a very good price. I almost paid as much 6 months earlier for just the grinding of a stump (and they didn't grind it as far). John has done work for my brother on several occasions and he is the one who recommended him to me.
